Fruition Announces New Album, 'Broken at the Break of Day', Adds 2020 Tour Dates

Portland-based roots-rock outfit Fruition has announced they will release their next studio album, Broken at the Break of Day, early next year on January 17th.

The announcement of the forthcoming 2020 release on Thursday comes less than a month after the release of Fruition’s latest album, Wild As The Night, which arrived back on November 8th. The group also announced that both Wild As The Night and Broken at the Break of Day will be packaged together on 180 gram vinyl set when the latter arrives next month so that listeners have the ability to listen to the albums as one collective body of work.

Fruition has already released an official music video for the first single from the album, “DAWN”, available below. Listen to the new single via the track’s canine-themed music video below.

Somewhere between tour dates, the band found the time to record the seven-song album at drummer Tyler Thompson‘s newly-constructed home studio before returning to the road.

“This process was the quickest the band had ever written and recorded the songs,” Thompson said of their forthcoming effort. “All the songs obviously fit either a ‘day’ or ‘night’ theme, but the whole rehearsing and recording process had to be done in about half the amount of time we were used to. That time limitation leant us to not overthink things, play instinctually and all live in the studio with very minimal overdubs. All the songs are very different, but I think the speedy process naturally created some sonic congruency.”

In addition to an already-bustling 2020 winter tour, Fruition has announced new concert dates set for March 2020 that will take the group through Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, and Missouri before heading west to play at WinterWonderGrass at Squaw Valley Resort in Olympic Valley, CA.
